All regiment & mess hall threads capped at 100 pages

[Crescent Glow]

Due to excessive strain on the forum servers, the FSE administration have unfortunately had to make a decision to cap all regiment threads at 100 pages. This thread will now be locked, please feel free to begin a new thread for your regiment.

Thanks for your co-operation,

All regiment threads have been capped to 100 pages, any thoughts on the matter?

[SeanBeansShako]

A reasonable cap.

EDIT:

For experimentaition sakes, I'm just going to read a page of a few of these locked threads. First off, lets see what is going down on page 470 of the 25th Regiment of Foot "King's Own Borderers".

Uh okay maybe something less recent. Lets try this one here page 50 of 15ᵉ Régiment de Voltigeurs de la Garde Impériale

Well the image is nice sort of. But still seeing people kind of being jerks.

Okay how about another one here with the Nr.37 Infantry Regiment thread, page 100 in fact.

Just spam.

Call me crazy, but the purpose of these threads it more or less recruitment and organisation. Seems to me now they've turned into weird spammy chat rooms where people just circle jerk, spam and yell at each other needless all day. Some of the stuff here clearly would drive people away from joining up or playing the game at all guys.

Conserving resources, more efficient posts. Change happens.

It feels to me you take away a lot of the history of a regiment. Also, in all honesty, this wasn't very thought through, since it is impossible (for as far as I know, tell me if I'm wrong ) to quote, modify your posts on a locked page, meaning I can't copy paste the thread I spent forever to make.

They locked all the threads so now people can't even copy and paste their BB codes to make a new one.

Honestly what the actual fuck? Taleworlds has LOADS more 100+ page threads than FSE will ever have, they use the same software, are you to tell me FSE's servers are just that shitty?

There's an ulterior motive here, God knows what.

Why block the thread if you're going to recommend starting a new one? Surely creating a new one with another original post like the 63e's one which has dozens of images is worse than just letting the thread continue...?

Pardon my French, but this is bullshit.

Another 10/10 decision made by the mod team!

Why the poll? This isn't a democracy.

A very very good point.

Why not just enforce some picture rules and wipe the old threads of dead regiments? Why put in an oppressive and thoroughly (Frankly) stupid cap?

FSE is worse at making de scions than the US Government. Luckily the 40th thread is saved elsewhere but what if it wasn't?  How the fuck are reg leaders supposed to get their thread back?

[FrithBiscuit]

RIP every single regiment's thread

Time to get working on new OP guys

You can message a moderator for your thread's bb code back

By sending a nice message to Blob. Guys lets not pretend this is fucking the end of the world. A simple request is all it takes, let's discuss on this thread whether or not capping the pages is of any use (see Frith's post)

This stickied topic explains it, will be a FAQ now.

Honestly. Look at the 93rd's thread. Now there's two of them. Two of those beautiful things taking up more space than just the one would. It's not as if having a new thread will stop people from posting on it... Also, when the new thread gets to 100 pages, do we have to start yet another? Three threads with the same space-hogging OP? What's the logic behind this?
